Don't Do It! Reconsider!



Will Smith is developing a sitcom based on "Hitch," the hit 2005 romantic comedy in which he played a professional "date doctor."

Smith is attached to executive produce the small-screen version, but will not star. The project is expected to be pitched to the networks shortly.

The project is set up at Smith's production company, Overbrook Entertainment. Other shows in development include: "Uncle Rudy," a family comedy starring Big Boi of the hip-hop duo OutKast; "Raw Materials," a relationship comedy for ABC; "Almost," a supernatural drama for A&E; and "Gimmee Twenty," a special starring investment guru Mellody Hobson, at ABC News.

Three words: All of Us. That show sucked royally. If this show does happen, please don't let Lisa Raye, Elise Neal, Tisha Campbell nor Tony Rock within 930 feet of it.



A Kind Word of Advice







Don't pick your plastic surgeon from the same place you clip your pizza and oil change coupons.



Media Whore: Tameka Foster











It's not her fault. The cameras are magnetically attracted to her.

Weekend Tunes

SSW reader Univgurl begged and pleaded with me to allow the music group Dru Hill to be featured in a post. I'm glad I finally gave in because this group is a-ma-zing! Excellent R&B harmonies that you unfortunately don't hear much of these days.

Mail singles or mix requests for weekend posts to Beyshawn Dereon Knowles-Carter beyshawndereonknowles.carter@gmail.com.
